The King's Avatar Episode 22 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Chen Guo showed Ye Xiu the exclusive plan she had formulated for An Wenyi. After listening to Chen Guo's explanation, Ye Xiu fully affirmed her plan. Qiao Yifan found Ye Xiu and summarized his shortcomings when interviewing An Wenyi, admitting his mistakes to him. However, Ye Xiu was busy with his own matters and didn't answer Qiao Yifan much.
Seeing this, Qiao Yifan thought Ye Xiu was disappointed in him and asked if he really thought he was okay to be the vice-captain. Ye Xiu heard this and told him that the reason he doubted himself was because he hadn't discovered his great potential. The Xing Xin Team discussed tactics for the Challenger League. All the tactics Qiao Yifan came up with had their flaws pointed out by everyone, leaving him momentarily unsure what to do.
An Wenyi felt that Xing Xin was currently a grassroots team, and during the match, the opponent would definitely choose to break through the captain first, so it would be better to wait for the captain to return before discussing. Ye Xiu's trip this time was to meet with Chang Xian. Chang Xian had always wanted to apologize for not recognizing Ye Xiu before.
As soon as he saw Ye Xiu, he immediately launched a strong apology offensive, making it difficult for Ye Xiu to parry. Ye Xiu quickly stopped him, telling him to get to the point. Only then did Chang Xian remember that he had something else to find Ye Xiu about.
He took out an article titled "Wei Cao's Abandoned Son Qiao Yifan, the Burden on Xing Xin's Path to Promotion," believing that someone was targeting Xing Xin and trying to create a sensation. Chang Xian told Ye Xiu that as long as Ye Xiu said the word, he could prevent the article from being published. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu looked at the article but said that publishing it like this was fine.
As a professional player, learning to face external doubts was a compulsory course for Qiao Yifan. Qiao Yifan wanted to discuss tactics with Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu had been studying how to fix a broken computer and finally decided that he would guide, and Qiao Yifan would fix it.
In fact, Ye Xiu wanted to use fixing the computer to subtly tell Qiao Yifan how to design tactics, but Qiao Yifan didn't get the hint and instead called for a computer repairman. Chen Guo was very angry when she saw the repair bill, blaming them for not wasting time on such things.
Qiao Yifan thought Chen Guo was angry because they spent too much money, but Chen Guo said that their training time was much more important than money, and told them to quickly go and train. Qiao Yifan quietly asked Ye Xiu why he didn't mention buying equipment for An Wenyi. Ye Xiu said buying equipment also costs money, and it was better not to rub salt in Chen Guo's wound.
Although they didn't have money, they still needed to equip the team with adequate gear, so Ye Xiu led the team members down the path of scavenging. Scavenging meant taking advantage of others fighting to pick up dropped equipment. Through practical combat, Ye Xiu explained the three great mysteries of scavenging to the team members. The team members understood.
Just as the Cleric's weapon dropped and Qiao Yifan was about to pick it up, someone named "Hui Bu Lun Tian" suddenly appeared and snatched the weapon. Ye Xiu quickly chased after him, telling the other team members to continue scavenging. At this time, the three major guilds had also discovered that Xing Xin was scavenging and surrounded them. While the others were fighting, An Wenyi did not approach the battlefield but kept looking for usable equipment on the sidelines.
Just then, a Blade Master with low health spotted him and was about to launch a surprise attack. Seeing this, Qiao Yifan quickly led the team members to rescue An Wenyi. An Wenyi wanted to stop them, but it was too late. The four of them were focused down by the three major guilds and all killed. Seeing such a scene, An Wenyi was furious.
He accused Qiao Yifan of not understanding command and leading them to a team wipe, and even told him not to be a professional player at all. With that, An Wenyi left angrily. Tang Rou and Bao Rongxing glanced at Ye Xiu and also left first. Qiao Yifan felt very upset in his heart. He asked Ye Xiu if it was really his fault.
Ye Xiu told him that he greatly appreciated his big-picture awareness, but he didn't want this big-picture awareness to become his burden. Luo Ji analyzed the combat recording from earlier. Ye Xiu asked him to send the analysis results to Qiao Yifan. The article that Chang Xian mentioned before had already been published. Luo Ji asked Ye Xiu if he should hide the magazine, fearing it would put pressure on Qiao Yifan.
Ye Xiu said that Qiao Yifan's big-picture awareness had already become his burden. He now needed to learn to appropriately let go and trust himself. This course had no teacher; whether he could graduate depended on Qiao Yifan himself, and all Ye Xiu could do now was give him a push. Qiao Yifan watched the combat recording, repeatedly recalling what Ye Xiu had said to him, his emotions a little out of control.
On the other side, An Wenyi called to complain that Xing Xin was too poor, without even decent equipment, and that he had already found a new place and was preparing to switch teams. As he was talking, Chen Guo appeared beside him and told him she wanted to talk to him. Chen Guo knew An Wenyi had many dissatisfactions. She took out a bank card and handed it to An Wenyi.
Seeing this, An Wenyi asked if it was an extra gift for him. But Chen Guo shook her head and told him it was Xing Xin's welcome gift for him. Chen Guo advised him that if he was dissatisfied, he must express it immediately. He should never let anger last overnight. An Wenyi was touched and asked Chen Guo how much of a budget she had given him for buying equipment.
Hearing this, Chen Guo felt a little embarrassed and said that her funds were not very ample right now, perhaps only enough to buy half a set of equipment. She might not be able to give them the best, but she could give them her all. She guaranteed that any equipment other teams had, Xing Xin would definitely have as well. After hearing Chen Guo's words, An Wenyi's heart softened slightly.
He logged into Glory and was surprised to find that Qiao Yifan had given him a top-tier orange weapon. An Wenyi also saw a notebook nearby with a photo tucked inside. On the back of the photo was written, "Thank you for playing Glory with me." Seeing all of this, An Wenyi began to doubt his behavior style over such a long time.
He called his junior to ask if his personality was very bad and also asked him what friends were. His junior replied that friends were fools who could repay harm with kindness even after being repeatedly hurt by him. An Wenyi recalled how he had always been sarcastic towards Qiao Yifan, but Qiao Yifan still treated him warmly. He felt both moved and regretful.
He asked his junior to teach him the magic to clear negative effects, saying he was willing to exchange anything to learn it. The match was about to start, but Qiao Yifan was nowhere to be seen. Everyone quickly searched everywhere, but couldn't find him. Ye Xiu told everyone that if Qiao Yifan wasn't there, everyone remaining had to take on his share of the responsibility.
In fact, Qiao Yifan had arrived at the venue much earlier and thoroughly summarized the situations of the teams that had played against Wei Cao before, sending the information to Ye Xiu via email. Seeing this, An Wenyi and Bao Rongxing wanted to go back and find Qiao Yifan, but Ye Xiu said that if Qiao Yifan didn't want to be on the field, dragging him back wouldn't help. He simply sent Qiao Yifan an email with only four words: "See you at Empty Forest."
